John-ShepardWrestling fans, pay attention.
The first in-game screenshot for WWE 2K15 has been released, and it was given to wrestling followers by none other than WWE star John Cena. He tossed up this pic on his Twitter page .
Publisher 2K Sports later released the same image (although a bit bigger), and said the pic represents what WWE 2K15 will look like on next-gen consoles. Hence, that screenshot is from either the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version of the upcoming game. Then, as revealed by IGN , we learn about the Hulkmania Collector's Edition.
Only available for PS4 and Xbox One, 2K will produce around 25,000 units, and each package will boast a collectible card hand-signed by the legend himself, Hulk Hogan, and an actual piece of the ring canvas from Hogan's Monday Night Raw appearance on March 10 this year. …let's just hope they clean those pieces.
WWE 2K15 is set to launch on October 28.

So Hogan is gunna hand sign 25000 collectible cards?
Wow, those graphics are insane.
The graphics actually look really good. If it wasn't for the unconvincing eyes I might've mistaken this for a photograph.
Can't wait to make Bray champ.
I grew up with WWE, even before it was known as WWE. I remember in 2004 when I purchased Smackdown vs. Raw on the PS2. I thought it was so freaking amazing, seeing both worlds collide like that. I still remember owning the original SmackDown video game on the PS1, and all of the games that released after, like Know Your Role and Just Bring It. (JBI was by far my fav at the time)
Then Here Comes The Pain came out, and I just couldn't get enough of it.
However, by far my most memorable WWF video game before the SVR era was WWF War Zone. I still remember the videos of Goldust in that, and how I practically idolized him in the game. Though, I mostly played as Steve Austin.
Now, moving on to the SmackDown vs. Raw era of WWE. I played the original almost religiously, and when Smackdown vs Raw 2006 came out, I bought it on both the PSP and the PS2. I actually still play it to this day, as some of the mini-games in that were truly awesome.
So, I literally owned every WWE/F game since the year 2000 up to Smackdown vs. Raw 2008. That's when I fell out of love with wrestling.
Now, I feel fairly loyal to the Smackdown vs. Raw branding, which is likely one of the reasons why I never got on board the new WWE series. However, I was VERY tempted to pick up a copy of WWE 2K14, but settled against it.
Though, now that WWE 2K15 is right around the corner, I will most definitely end up buying a copy. I can't wait to get back into the ring as Rey Mysterio, who is by far my all-time favourite pro wrestler, right up there with The Rock, Steve Austin, Eddie Guerrero, Goldust, John Cena, Big Show, Edge and The Undertaker.
So, yup. Good job, WWE. You've once again captured my soul with your awesomeness.
